Hello! Can you recommend a good Thai language school in Bangkok that does courses for 3-4 months and also provides ED visa?

I'm looking for small group classes (intermediate level probably) and I genuinely want to study, I'm not looking for a way to get visa only. I would like to start by the middle/end of February.

Thank you for any advices!

I took 3 months at Duke, it was worthwhile. Group classes, ~8-10 students. They did a little language quiz first to slot me into the right starting class. Their classes do fill up, so you need to check availability.

I completed a one month course at Rak Thai Language School in Phloen Chit last year, I thought it was good and am planning to return later this year, possibly to undertake the Education Visa.

Geos Language in asoke. Great location, they do all the paperwork and i get complimented on my thai literally everyday.

That said, any school you go to is going to be only as good as the effort you are willing to put in.

Thank you, I haven't seen this one. It looks pretty fine as well. I have read reviews for some schools that they are not "strict" - that they are good option for someone who just want the visa and not studying. And I'm not a self-driven person 😅 I will do my work/studying but I need test, deadlines, someone pushing me. More "strict" = better improvement.

While I havent seen it yet at my school, from what I understand all the schools have a "meh" class that they shove the ed visa riders into. Wherever you do end up going just make sure when you go to sign up you let them know you are serious about learning Thai and intend to be there every class and they should make sure you dont get put in their meh class.

If you're serious about studying then Duke Language School is the best in Bangkok. 3 hours per day, 5 days per week. They'll make you take a test to place you at the correct level. You should get in touch with them as soon as possible because they sometimes have a wait list.
